Very Sad

[Simon Pieman]

Cancer is a cunt, by the time you get to that stage it's very hard to enjoy whatever time you have left. Just hope he's around the people he loves and when he does go it is not too stressful. I don't think you'd be able to ask for more.

Sir Bobby is an absolute hero of mine, it brings a tear to my eye

Fair play for saying that usually you appear very anti English so fair play.

[Bedford Red]

He was in Ipswich last week as there was an open top bus celebration to mark the 30th anniversary of Ipswich winning the cup in 78.

He was looking old but in all fairness he must be 76ish so that's expected. Hope he's got a fair bit of life left in him, top man.

[Don Rogers Shop]

Anyone see him on saturday does not look good at all

[Bushey Boy]

Yeah I saw, very sad but you can tell he just loves being at a footy match still

[Power to people]

Yeah I saw him and thought it sad how Brian Barwick had to stay behind him to make sure Bobby was fine on his feet, the bloke is a total legend and what he has done in football has bene fantastic, one of the few england managers that people never have a bad word to say about.

Let's hope that he has still got a good few years left in him though...the bloke is a fighter and will not go down without a fight that's for sure.

It will be a sad day when he has passed.

one of the few england managers that people never have a bad word to say about.

That is simply not true, he was treated awfully by the press in the late 80's.  Nowadays he's treated well, but not at the time.

On a personal level it was terrible to see a man, a shadow of his former self, brought down to that by such a horrible illness.

[Don Rogers Shop]

That is the press though Jan

[janaage]

No it's not mate, it's not just the press, in 88 when england were dumped out on the euro's Robson wasn't a popular man.  This legend that seems to have engulfed the man's life is a falsehood.  

Thank God for the lucky run in 90 which has catapulted him to the hall of fame.  1990 World Cup has single handedly erased the memory of 88 and to a certain extent Maradona's goal erased the memory of the oh so average 86 campaign.

But who am I to get in the way of a good story.

[leefer]

Is sad....people forget he was a great player too and played for England.....great player,great manager and a great person too.

[Don Rogers Shop]

That’s Bullshit Jan he has always been regarded as a Top man and a lovely bloke no one can deny that. Ok maybe a few got on his back but that is football and I am sure 99% of fans all agree he is a lovely bloke which is what we are saying.

As for getting in the way of a good story again that is bullshit a person is a legend based on individuals opinions the very fact that nearly everyone on here has said he is a legend suggests that he is in most peoples eyes, irrelevant of what happened in the 80s

[dell boy]

If he is English than Jans The Man to put the boot in - go on Jan say something, anything, nice about an Englishman - change a way of life.

[Bushey Boy]

Jan should fuck off home if he hates us English so much   :english:

[flammableBen]

I think Jan's right.

[BANGKOK RED]

I don't recall Sir. Bobby ever getting a hard time. And IIRC he retired as England manager as opposed to being sacked, and many where dissapointed when he did so.
